This bill, titled the "Stopping Home Office Work's Unproductive Problems Act of 2025" or the "SHOW UP Act of 2025," requires Executive agencies to take immediate action regarding their telework policies. Within 30 days of the bill's enactment, each agency head must reinstate and apply the telework policies, practices, and levels that were in effect on December 31, 2019 . Agencies are prohibited from expanding these pre-pandemic telework levels until they fulfill further requirements. Specifically, within 180 days, each agency must submit to Congress a comprehensive study on the impacts of expanded telework during the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing effects on mission performance, costs related to underutilized real property and locality pay, and the provision of secure tools. Concurrently, agencies must submit any plan to expand telework beyond 2019 levels, accompanied by a certification from the Director of the Office of Personnel Management. This certification must affirm that the proposed plan will have a substantial positive effect on mission, increase workforce dispersal, reverse adverse impacts, and significantly lower costs related to real property and locality pay, while ensuring productive and secure telework without increasing overall agency costs.
